 Product Description

Unlike liquid fertilizers that disperse throughout the water, these Aquatic Plant Root Tabs target nutrients exactly where rooted plants need them most. Simply place the tabs beneath the substrate near plant roots, and they gradually release essential nutrients over several weeks.

This Slow Release Aquarium Fertilizer contains a balanced blend of nutrients that encourage healthy root growth while supporting lush foliage and vibrant colors. Because nutrients remain concentrated within the substrate, they are efficiently absorbed by plant roots instead of floating freely in the water column.

The fertilizer is specially formulated to be a Fish Safe Plant Fertilizer, making it suitable for community aquariums with tetras, guppies, angelfish, corydoras, and other freshwater fish. It is also a Shrimp Safe Aquarium Fertilizer, making it ideal for planted shrimp tanks where water quality and livestock safety are top priorities.

Whether you’re growing Amazon Swords, Cryptocorynes, Vallisneria, Dwarf Sagittaria, or other heavy root-feeding plants, this Aquarium Substrate Fertilizer provides the nutrients they require for consistent, healthy growth.

 Benefits of Using This Product

Using a quality Planted Aquarium Fertilizer offers several advantages that improve both plant health and the overall appearance of your aquarium.

Promotes Strong Root Growth

The concentrated nutrients encourage deep, healthy root systems that anchor plants securely while improving nutrient absorption.

Supports Vibrant Green Leaves

Essential minerals help maintain lush foliage, stronger stems, and healthier leaf development.

Long-Lasting Nutrition

Each tab slowly releases nutrients over time, reducing the need for frequent fertilization.

Safe for Aquarium Livestock

This Fish Safe Plant Fertilizer is formulated for freshwater aquariums and will not harm fish, shrimp, or snails when used as directed.

Cleaner Water Column

Since nutrients remain beneath the substrate, there’s less excess fertilizer circulating in the water compared to many liquid fertilizers.

Convenient Maintenance

With 100 Tabs Aquarium Fertilizer, one package provides months of plant nutrition for multiple aquariums.
